DEATH OF A PRELATE.
MOnsignOr Quinn of New York
Dies at Paris.

New YORK, April l5.-Monsignor
Quinn, Vicar General of the diocese of
New York, is dead. His death was the
result of general debility rather than of
any specific disease. He had not en-
joyed good health for long time. Be-
fore his departure for Europe
last June, indigestion and other
complaints troubled him greatly, to
gether with bronchial affection that
seemed to give him extreme annoyance
towards the last. At first he went
to Ireland but the climate there
was too severe for him SO he went to
the south of France last fall and
remained at Nice most of the winter.
He started from there few days ago to
return home, intending to reach here
early next month. At Paris he had a
relapse, from which he never recovered.
His body will be brought here and his
funeral will take place in the cathedral.

LIBEL.
b. A. stephens Held 10 Answer In
$500 Bafl.

$500 bail.
The case of B. A. Stephens, charged
with libel, came up for examination be.
fore Justice Taney yesterday morning.
The alleged libel was an article published
in the Pomona Progress on the 10th of
March.
After the complaint had been read
Judge Williams offered q paragraph
OF the article as evidence, but
stipulated that the rest of the
matter in the article should not be
in evidence, although the paper contain.
ing it was offered to prove publication.
This offer brought Colonel Wells to his
feet with demand to see the paper, and
taking it he began to read the entire
article. Major Bell jumped to his feet
in an excited manner and demanded that
the reading be stopped, using some very
hard words and calling some hard
names. District ATTORNEY Denis asked
that Major Bell be fined for contempt OF
Court, but Colonel Wells thought he
cOulu thko CdTo VI himself. Inc seen
was very exciting, and not few 'ex.
pected a serious collision between the
two. Deputy Constable Hammel shed
his coat adm said he was capable of keep.
ing order in the Court. Matters finally
quieted down and the examination pro-
ceeded. The only evidence the prosecu-
tion introduced was that of District At
torney Denis, who stated that
Stephens had told him that he was
responsible for anything which was pub.
lished in the Pomona Progress. The
defense rested their case after introduc.
ing evidence as to the meaning of the
words "flagrante delictn." After argu-
ment Justice Taney held Stephens in
$500 bail, to be furnished this morning
at 10 o'clock.
Last evening the examination of
Messrs. Wells, Thornton and Stephens,
on q charge of libel, published in a
pamphlet, entitled the "Life of Horace
Bell" was commenced bsfore Justice
Taney. The testimony introduced was
similar to that given lat former case,
which was fully reported in the HER.
AID. Owingt to the lateness of the hour
the case was continued until this morn
